I'd been burned too many times.
But Lisa swore by it. And she'd had roaches just as bad as me.
I ordered one device. Not expecting much.
I plugged it in that afternoon.
Day 1-2:
I still saw a few roaches. Sometimes even a couple more than usual.
I almost unplugged it. Thought I'd wasted my money again.
Then I remembered what Lisa told me: "You'll probably see them move around as they leave their hiding spots. Don't panic. It means it's working."
Day 3-5:
Something changed.
I'd turn on the kitchen light and see... nothing.
I opened the cereal box. No "surprises."
Checked behind the coffee maker. Clear.
Under the toaster. Clear.
No droppings on the counters.
No skittering shapes when I walked in at night.
By the end of the week, I realized I hadn't seen a single roach in 3 days.
I cried at the sink.
Not because I was scared this time.
Because for the first time in months, my kitchen felt like my kitchen again.
What Happened Next
Within two weeks, I ordered a 6-pack of PestLab devices.
I plugged one into every main area of the house:
- Kitchen
- Living room
- Hallway
- Laundry room
- Bathroom
- Garage
We haven't seen a roach inside since.
It's been 14 months.
Fourteen months without a roach infestation.
I wake up in the morning and don't check the kitchen counter before I make coffee.
I open cabinets without anxiety.
My daughter had friends sleep over for her birthday. For the first time in eight years.
